Strangers Director Bryan Bertino Promises There Are Monsters

It’s been several years since we’ve seen anything from writer/director Bryan Bertino, who burst onto the scene in 2008 with the effective home invasion flick The Strangers. Next, he continues with the home invasion theme, only this time the invading monsters aren’t of the human variety.

Screen Daily reports that Bertino’s next project will be a horror flick titled There Are Monsters, which he wrote and will be directing. Elisabeth Moss, best known for her role on “Mad Men,” has signed on to star in the film.

Bertino’s script follows a single mom and her terrified young daughter who are trapped and tormented by a mysterious creature.

Pre-production is due to get under way in the fall of 2014.

Richard Suckle produces under his Atlas Entertainment banner alongside Adrienne Biddle of Unbroken Pictures. Sonny Mallhi, exec on The Strangers, as well as House at the End of the Street and The Roommate, is executive producer.
